Congratulations to the 2020 Communications Trust and the Microsoft Unlimited Potential Foundation for implementing the Stepping Up programme. Wanganui has been chosen as one of the first 3 Regions in New Zealand to operate Stepping UP.
The Whanganui Learning Centre will be delivering our first pilot for 200 families in 2009 and enrolments for classes have started already.
Here is the staff of the Whanganui Learning Centre, all ready to go!
The Stepping UP programme will provide a 'staircase' for our Computers in Homes graduates and other community members through access to more advanced digital training including with Microsoft Office Programmes.
The 2006 Census revealed that more than 100,000 families with school-aged children do not have access to the Internet from their homes. To address this, the 2020 Trust is launching the Computers in Homes 100,000 Challenge today. This is a challenge to all New Zealanders, including central and local Government, business and the community to ensure that no family with school-aged children remains disconnected.
